Soulcalibur VI's Sophitia trailer is now live

Yep, that's right. Following the official announcement of Soulcalibur VI on last year's Game Awards, we were left wondering when are we going to get some new information and when can we expect to see more of the (confirmed) in-game characters. Well, the answer is upon us as Bandai Namco released a trailer for their first main character in the upcoming game - Sophitia.

As it was previously announced, both Sophitia and Mitsurgui were confirmed as the returning characters and this trailer focuses on Sophitia exclusively and one of the head developers (Motohiro Okubo) introduces us to the design philosophy standing behind this character. As it was implied, all the other characters were designed based on the standards that were set with the two previously mentioned names.

Soulcalibur VI will, technically, be sort of a remake of the original Soulcalibur game that kick-started the whole franchise. We will see the original 8-bit mechanics that made the first game so iconic but we will also see some new concepts as well. One of these is a Reversal Edge feature that allows the characters to clash and use some completely new and unique abilities.

We will see what the final product will look like but this certainly looks promising. Soulcalibur VI will come out at some point during 2018 and it will be available on PC, Xbox One and PS4.
